my job experience is nonexistent, and people wonder why
I have a sort-of job with my (cousin's) uncle at his Communications/Ad Firm. (That's where I am now)
It's cool, 'cause yesterday I tagged along for a meeting with a big government client and earlier today I proofread some adds for MCS/Medicare.
It's not cool because when I'm not doing any of these things, I am literally doing nothing, and last year I did basically the same thing, only I worked on translating this, like 20-page medical pamphlet and didn't get paid**. And I don't know if I'll get paid this year either. DDDD: /rubs hungry belly
The experience is nice, but I need money, man. And food, preferably. I can't have a can of coke for lunch every day.
Ahahaha, it's great, man. In case you're curious, I named my Raidou "Makenshi Tsutomu" because Makenshi is my silent-protag name and Tsutomu was the first cool name that came to mind.
Anyway, I'm just starting Chapter 1 (I've had only one zone for leveling up, in Dark Tsukudo-cho,) and I'm already level 11, with Tam Lin, Chou-keshin and Angel, all at level 11~10. I've fused demons like 8 times and upped my title to Initiate. Hohoho, having gone from "WHAT THE CRAP IS GOING ON, OH GOD INUGAMI KILLED ME" to "okay, Inugami uses Tentarafoo, lemme just run and hide my demons while he does that and then strike when I get the chance," I am quite proud. Dude probably had a weakness tho. Heh, maybe next time I should look up the FAQ instead of spending three hours leveling up...

**He said he was going to pay me last Christmas. It's August now and I'm in his office and he still hasn't paid me so. Yeah. :|

Is there a cafeteria where you work?
I'm not getting paid either. And I'm working on a basic storyboard for a new movie. :\ But, there's no money. internships are usually unpaid, but not it's practically impossible to find a summer job/internships that does pay. Which sucks, cuz now Financial aid students in college are expected to work over the summer to help pay their tuition, so they give you less financial aid. They also expect you to work doing the school year too. But student jobs give you a meager salary (not enough to pay taxes!)
You have no idea how depressed I've been because of this whole money situation. And that isn't even half the reason for my depression =_=;;; I EVEN CONSIDERED TRANSFERRING BACK TO PR... probably Sagrado, because I would shoot myself if I had to go to the UPR (no offense to your mom). But my dad told me "NO WAY JOSE!" (basically)

What kind of sucks the most is that I'm not doing anything! I mean, it sucks to do a lot of work and not get paid squat, but it sucks too when you're just sitting around all day and Mom and Dad as "So, what did you do today?" and I have to answer "Nothing at all." It's like I'm not even here half the time :| At least now I can bring my computer, so I can listen to music and stuff. But yesterday I didn't have my headphones and it's just... so quiet and desolate, man o_o
DDD: Dianaaaaa~ You're depressed 'cause of money D: Man, if PR weren't such a mess, I'd actually consider 'cause of the money situation, but things with my parents have been so bad lately, that I'll take a life filled with debt over a life in that house ._.;;;;
no subject
Yeah, I know how you feel! When I was working at the Capitolio, I actually got paid. So it was too bad. But I felt really terrible, because (last year) I was paid $800 and I literally just walked around for 12 hours a day. This year, I actually did something though. But if it weren't for the fact that I had that project, I would have had nothing to do again.
I'm depressed because of a lot of things, but money is definitely one of them. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO COME BACK AND STUDY IN PR!!! I REALLY DON'T! O_O;;; But, I just feel so bad for my parents! It's so hard for them to pay Wellesley. AND my sister is starting Med School here, right? No one told my parents that the first year is more expensive than the others, and that every year it gets cheaper. My parents always assumed that it would be like $10,000 So they were like "Awesome, it's cheap." Then they found out that my sister's tuition this year was going to somewhere around $20,000. And Wellesley almost didn't give me the right financial aid. Thankfully, they reassessed it, and my parents told me that now they gave me more. BUT STILL! @_@;;;;;

Sob, it gets really lonely, which makes me feel terrible about myself. But maybe it's just 'cause I'm on my period.
/huuuuuuugs. My parents are paying a lot too, and this year tuition at Simmons went up by 5% +_+ I try not to worry about it, but I think the fact that I'm not too worried has to do with the serious detachment that I'm having with my parents. Man, I need to see shrink the second I get back to Simmons; I have some serious issues with them, and if I don't fix it soon, I'm gonna go crazy!
no subject
Seeing a shrink isn't a bad thing. Maybe I should see one when I get to Wellesley @_@;; *hugs* we need to hang out and talk~!
no subject
I definitely don't think so. I just need to go early so I can actually get someone, that's what they told me last semester. We doooo! And your birthday's tomorrow!! 8DD
no subject
Yeah it is! xD I went to the orthodontist today, and they have this index-fingerprint reader so the computer marks that you're there for your appointment. There's a screen with text and usually when you put your index finger it just says something along the lines of "Thank you for coming, please be seated and wait until your name is called" right? xD Right after it said that today, new text appeared that said "Birthday count: 1 day!"
Ha ha! xD Hernandez Orsini is such a nice orthodontist!

That's so cool!! He sounds like he's hiigh technical xD We gotta do something for your birthday! Like.... something awesome!

My mom says I could be a really good psychologist. I think it'd be pretty cool, but if their lives really suck I don't know if I would be able to handle it! D: *is affected* Like, if a person starts crying in front of me, I don't think if can stop myself from crying too. Although, my mom says that you learn to control those kinds of things.
Ha ha! We should. I have no idea what I want to do, and my mom keeps asking me what I want as a present. o_o; All the things I can think of are expensive ones. And when I told her pencils, she was like "C'mon, Diana. Really! What do you want?"
... I wouldn't mind getting pencils... (・ε・)
no subject
I think you'd be a good, like, guidance counselor or something! Psychologists deal with such messed up folks, I feel bad for them when I think about it...
ffffffffft. I'll get you something. Something cool. I dunno. We'll hang and figure it out? Unless you're doing something for your birthday with your parents :v
no subject
I think if I were a psychologist, I would like to deal with kids. D: That's where all your problems start! When your little!
I have no idea what I'm doing tomorrow! :O
